History Administrivia / ExampleSectionectomy

* JumpedTheShark

* RaceLift

* EpicRiff

* BrownIndex

* AttractionToOutliers (to preserve it as only an index)

* {{Hatedom}} -- also permalocked

* UnpleasableFanbase -- also permalocked

* SilentMajority
* VocalMinority

* BaseBreakingCharacter -- also [[Administrivia/LockedPages permalocked]]

* {{Hatedom}} -- also permalocked

* HypeBacklash

* Wikipedia's "in popular culture" sections were heavily cracked down on at one point as a reaction against "{{Fancruft}}" and rampant {{Entry Pimp}}ing, of the kind satirised in [[https://xkcd.com/446/ this]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' cartoon. A lengthy EditWar about how much attention the depiction of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_de_Pompadour Madame de Pompadour]] in a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode should have received on her page may have contributed.

* NightmareFuel was originally HighOctaneNightmareFuel, with AccidentalNightmareFuel originally being Nightmare Fuel. Needless to say, the change was a little confusing for in-wiki links, but necessary due to people using the trope to describe anything they personally found scary. Even with the name changes, NightmareFuel pages for individual works ''still'' tended to get bloated with poor examples that just happened to coincide with a single person's fears (it's supposed to be things that are frightening to the entire general population), so the examples were tentatively removed -- this sparked a rather large backdraft. Currently, the NightmareFuel pages for works operate under what we're calling "Example Lobotomy" rules -- examples are allowed, but hyperbole, purple-prose, and other forms of flowery page-bloating cruft are kept to a strict minimum.

* {{Narm}} → [=DarthWiki/Narm=] Which was later moved back to {{Narm}}.

* SnuffFilm -- permalocked

* SnuffFilm -- also permalocked

* NaughtyTentacles -- also permalocked and [[Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub deleted]]

%%* Move examples to another wiki entirely.

* Basically any member of the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub (aside from ThisTroper, and other deliberate redlinks.).

Too Contentious to List Examples: (In other words: If we had these, we'd have edit wars--and in many cases, we speak from experience)

* BaseBreakingCharacter -- also permalocked

* FetishFuel -- also permalocked

* NaughtyTentacles -- also permalocked

* {{Badass}} (General term for those in ListOfBadassTropes)

* [[AvertedTrope Aversions]] of TheProblemWithLicensedGames were moved to SugarWiki.NoProblemWithLicensedGames.

* YouFailLogicForever initially had a spin-off page (InsaneTrollLogic) for listing non-specific examples as the page had become rather bloated, and a release valve for non-specific examples was thought desirable (type 5). And then the original page was reorganized so that all the fallacies contained therein were spun off into their own pages (type 3), while the original spin-off had developed through a sort of reverse TropeDecay into a full trope in its own right [[note]]An argument so riddled with flaws as to enter the realm of either {{parody}} or PoesLaw.[[/note]].

Fanspeak terms for other tropes (These tropes define terminology that the audience commonly uses to define attributes or incidents, and this wiki already has its own equivalents to them)

* {{Megane}} (to {{Meganekko}} and ScaryShinyGlasses)

* LoliconAndShotacon -- also permalocked

Too Common To List (Listing these would bloat the entire selection, even with subpages. It will also inevitably result in SignalToNoiseTrainwreck regardless of anything):

* Everything listed in Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease counts as a example of a partial Example Sectionectomy; the scar tissue differs in that it contains "No real life examples, please!" rather than "No examples, please. This only defines the term.", as RealLife is the example subsection most prone to need pruning, for various subtly obvious reasons.
* NightmareFuel was originally HighOctaneNightmareFuel, with AccidentalNightmareFuel (see above) originally being Nightmare Fuel. Needless to say, the change was a little confusing for in-wiki links, but necessary due to people using the trope to describe anything they personally found scary.
